Sorry. I misunderstood your query. My fault.
Atlas Shrugged and Who is John Galt? should be read together at the same time.

Need to put her “Capitalism: the Unknown Ideal” on the book shelf beside “Atlas” - after you’ve read it :)

"Who is John Galt?" will be a buffer to the sometimes dated, perhaps abrasive and long winded style that Rand used. ................... The Authors skillfully guide a reader over the sharp edges and deep holes of Rands narrative..." Say what?
Considering that Atlas Shrugged" has been in continuous print for some 55 years and has sold over 7 million copies as of 2010 - I look at the above assumptions as akin to some contemporary artist deciding to repaint the Mona Lisa, making "improvements" so that the denser among us can better appreciate it -
peace...
(I first read "Atlas' in 1959 - I was a bit 'younger' then. but had no problem with the length, the 'sharp edges' or 'deep holes'. Well, a bit of a problem with the length in that I couldn't put it down, so lost a lot of sleep. :)

I don’t know who wrote that review. It wasn’t me (or anybody I paid).

Thanks, Publius. Is there a hardcopy or ebook other than Kindle version available?

Yeah, by "hardcopy" I didn't mean hard cover but just any dead-tree format. I assume you can get it at Amazon as well?

Yup. Just key in “Who is John Galt” over at Amazon, and it will come up.

What the heck, we got a review? LOL!
I'm thinking of opening an alternate Amazon account with my Groucho glasses on. "This book is teh shizzle for only liter8 rdrs LOLZORZ." I may have to work on the vernacular a little.
Kindle-ing that thing was not a happy process due to a weird bug in the conversion process that we got around by changing from the recommended PDF format to a back-revved Word one. Trial and error. You want that number to be n+1 for trials and it wasn't happening...
Thanks for the kind words, all!
To: Billthedrill
A very kind review. And I didn’t even have to pay for it.
